Free Learning
This edited volume explores, investigates and analyses Free Learning – an innovative approach to student-directed learning which seeks to challenge educational norms from within. The volume is framed by a recognition of the urgent need for transformation of our educational systems. In traditional education, students work through a teacher-directed linear syllabus, at a pace dictated by the teacher, with summative assessment hurdles at too-frequent intervals. Progression and direction are determined solely by the teacher. In Free Learning, students determine their own learning pathway through a non-linear syllabus, which can be visualised as a mind map. Students may then complete as many units as they either have time for or are interested in, moving from one unit to another on the basis of having formatively satisfied the demands of each individual unit. This volume showcases the value and potential of Free Learning in contemporary practice and is intended to bridge theory and practice. The structure of the book reflects this complementary fit, with contributions from practitioners describing Free Learning as a learning and teaching tool in a range of educational settings, subjects and age-ranges. It also contains qualitative and quantitative analyses by researchers exploring the uptake of Free Learning and students’ responses to the methodology. Researchers and educators who are interested in student-directed methodologies, especially in Asia, will find that the practical accounts and analyses of Free Learning contained within provide much food for thought with regard to redefining student learning.
Cultural Studies in the Classroom and Beyond
This edited volume seeks to combine and highlight the theoretical and practical aspects of teaching by exploring and reflecting on the ways in which Cultural Studies is taught and practiced at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, in the US and internationally. Contributors create a space where connections among Cultural Studies practitioners across generations and locations are formed. Because the alliances built by Cultural Studies practitioners in the U.S. and the global north are deeply shaped by the global south/Third World perspectives, this book extends an invitation to teachers and practitioners in and outside of the US, including those who may offer a transnational perspective on teaching and practicing Cultural Studies. This volume promises to be a trailblazing collection of first-rate essays by leading and emerging figures in the field of Cultural Studies.
Through the Valley~And Beyond
When my husband, Bob, died of a heart attack I was mad at God, for I had spent much time in prayer for his recovery, but I was a-n-g-r-y at Satan. I figuratively and literally shook my fist in his face and vowed if there was some good to be gleaned from this tragedy in my life, I was going to reap it. God in His mercy understood, and as the seconds and minutes, and hours and days and weeks and months and years dragged by, the Holy Spirit was increasingly with me. The following pages were penned under His guidance. He was the author; I was the writer. You will notice that much was written during the middle of the night~ I learned to keep a pencil and paper by my bedside and would scribble out the words that came to me in the night. Alternatively, I would memorize the words that came in the darkness and commit them to paper in the morning or at the first opportuni
